Size18-hole golf course

SWA collaborated with the architect to provide site planning, schematic landscape design and design development for this brand new membership clubhouse facility with an 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., International. The development includes a major arrival entry with a stone podium surrounded by a fountain pool. The clubhouse is surrounded by four gardens with a major lawn terrace that fronts onto the 18th hole. Restraint, careful grading and reforestation were used to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the site. The project is approximately two miles from the Nasu Highland Resort Amusement Park and is an important part of the Nasu Highland Fantasy Pointe Resort development.
